A) Mix the solution thoroughly before drinking.
B) Drink the solution in the evening and again in the morning.
C) Drink the solution along with a glass of warm milk.
D) Eat high-fiber foods the evening before the procedure.
A
Feedback:
The nurse should instruct the client to mix the solution thoroughly before drinking. GoLYTELY is taken only in the evening and also after supper. Fleet Phospho Soda or magnesium citrate may be taken in the evening and again in the morning. The solution should not be taken with a glass of warm milk. It should be taken chilled. On the evening before the procedure, the client should eat a light supper, not high-fiber foods.
